ADD QUOTES-
Wendell: I hope that people will look at The Wire and look at the humanity in it, as harsh as the show can be, and understand that there is humanity and that there is shared experience. No matter how far your life may be from these characters' lives, it's a shared experience. There's hopes, there's dreams, there's inadequacies, there's strengths, just like with every human experience.
